Expressing problems

Hi i need some advice please - i have just started expressing the first time i got 3oz from right side nothing from left today is the second time ive done it i got 2&1/2oz from right and 1/2oz from left side should i be getting more?should i be getting more from the left side? does everyone get more from one side? Leah is 11weeks how much should i be giving in a bottle? i need to know as i want to express enough for about 3 feeds on the 9th june as ive got take that tickets :\) i also want to make expressing work this time as i gave up with Lexie as i was only managing to get 1oz a time so in the end i just gave formula when i had to leave her with someone i dont want to do that this time as Leah is younger than her sis was when i left her.Also do i have to let the milk go to room temp before putting in the freezer? Anyway sorry for going on any advice or help would be great thanks Lin

I always got different amounts from either side, sometimes double, and it was always my left side which produced more. At that age Teagan was taking around 4 oz each bottle. If you were worried about having enough you could either do enough for 4 feeds, or have a small carton of formula in the cupboard 'just in case'

I used to cool milk in the fridge before putting it in the freezer, but I don't see why you couldn't just put it directly in the freezer.

thanks that really helps i will aim to have enough for 4 feeds dont think she will need 4 but best to be safe i will get a carton for emergancy only lol im hoping expressing works out this time as i know my mum would love to look after her for a couple of hours and Lexie would love some time with me on her own as shes been pretty clingy since Leah arrived.thanks again i cant wait now Mark Owen is the man for me lol
